25/4/01 Bells Beach - Rockingham Dry Suit / Wreck 34 13.3 6 Wobbalygong shark is now resident on the wreck under the permanent Dive flag. A large Cuttlefish was hiding in the tail of the plane wreck. First dive with Drysuit. Used 18lb of weight but need another 3-6lb. Takes a little getting used to air travelling around the suit. A couple of leg rises, but all nice and dry at the end of the dive. Robert Allen & 
Chris Brennand
17/3/01 Kingston Spit - Rottnest Boat / Camera 54 10.4 10 Saw very large King fish, lots of rays. Lindsay saw large shark (probably Bronze Whaler or Bull) startled her. Lindsay Brennand & Robert Allen
16/2/01 Padand Bai - Bali Boat / Drift / Camera 35 27 15 This site was called "Shark Point" because of the numerous White Tip Sharks that frequent the area. As per usual I managed to scare all sharks out of the water before I entered (must have know I was coming) and we didn't see any. Robert Allen
16/2/01 Padand Bai - Bali Boat / Drift / Camera 41 25 15 Strong current running. Sigara (Dive master) became concerned when bubbles from my regs were being pulled DOWN by the current. We moved to a shallower part of the reef. Robert Allen
16/2/01 Padand Bai - Bali Boat / Drift / Camera 49 28 15 Went to a site on the other side of the bay called Blue Lagoon not much current, lots of coral & fish. Robert Allen
15/2/01 Menjangan Isl. - Bali Deep / Drift / Wall / Camera 33 33.1 25 Vis was excellent, heaps of coral & fish. Wall extended from 8m to 45m. A pair of fins didn't get packed so Bob shared one of his with our Dive master. Robert Allen
15/2/01 Menjangan Isl. - Bali Wall / Drift / Camera 42 22.6 20 This wall disappeared into the depths, couldn't see the bottom, wall 5m to 90m. Good current running, so get buoyancy right and just drift alone the wall face. Bob had two fins on this dive but lost one in the strong current while holding on at the 5m safety stop. We now have one fin each. Robert Allen
15/2/01 Menjangan Isl. - Bali Wall / Drift / Camera 37 27.4 20 One fin each. Robert Allen
13/2/01 Tulamben - Bali Wreck / Camera 36 21.5 4 Was quite rough and murky but the fish & coral are amazing. The locals come from everywhere to help and do everything for you. Robert Allen
